My past couple games have people refusing to speak and running straight into the enemy feeding. My actual last game my top laner was at 9 deaths at the 10 minute mark. I didn't even think it was possible to die that often. Jungle ganked and instead of using abilities he would sit there autoing and they would both die.
Are people making accounts specifically to do this to the enemy team to climb their main account?
Kai Guy1 voteshow would one go about ensuring your in same game and additionally not on the same team? Probably just trolls or unskilled players.
Asterfix1 votesbut like.. why would i get queued with players who are THAT bad. How do they even go about getting to the same ranking as me? Shouldn't there be some sort of "you've been 0/20 every game for the past 3 games so we're suspending your ability to play ranked until you don't do that anymore" system.
Kai Guy1 votesI would say that system is reports, get your team on it and get the opponents to do them as well. Remember that if your not coming across as a flamer or toxic your way more likely to generate sympathy from your opponents and get some of those glorious 9 man reports that end up providing a "we punished a player you reported thanks for helping us remove the unsavory" messages from riot.
As for bad teammates, part of the game. My personal stance is if your good you inherently have an advantage in every single game you play because the odds of enemy team having more bad players is higher then your team. It might not happen and your gonna have streaks of losses from teammates because that's how it goes, but law of large numbers is a thing and it balances out into you climbing ladder if you just keep playing. When I started to improve (I was low bronze in season 1.) I found for me that the key is to always focus on yourself first, and try to keep everybody's attitude in a match from falling into GG thresholds of salty. I got wins this season with folks who intentionally started feeding but managed to talk them down and turn the game around. This is obviously not true for every game and wont work every time but anything that improves your win rate is a good thing in my book, cuz law of numbers. Anyhow mate bit of a long post... heh... I wish you best of luck on the rift. Good luck and have fun.
OnlyYouCanHearMe1 votesIf you told me you were playing on Twisted Treeline, I would have said you found someone using a bot program to level the account. But I haven't found anyone using that on the Rift. At that point, might be helpful to gently suggest to the jungler that they refrain from ganking that lane, and just try to get one of the other lanes ahead to try and carry.
Asterfix1 votesThere was no getting ahead of 9 kills at 10 minutes. We couldn't even kill him for the rest of the game. He just steamrolled us with a 5 level lead since he had literally 0 resistance all game.
PlsCheckThisBush1 votesYou're always welcome to report them, as every now and again the occasional player comes up that literally wants nothing to do with the team and plays for KDA and stat-padding. I'm not sure if the IFS (Instant Feedback System) is able to quickly pick up on this as their stats are ridiculous sometimes, however if they're intentionally throwing/feeding in games that could easily be ban-worthy. There was a Chinese LeBlanc player with a 3200 KDA that only played Tank LeBlanc while maintaining a Bronze 5 MMR - something that is generally unheard of.
Also, make sure you're not being toxic towards them or flaming them, as they could easily just be tilted from previous matches or your team/enemy team harassing them - putting the flamers at risk of being banned themselves for obvious reasons.
